Close Your Eyes ?
-----------------------
Today’s
technology is telling us :
“
If you want to hide your identity , keep your eyes closed. The moment you open
it, world will know everything about you “
Now
, who but the very dead , can keep their eyes closed for ever ?
What
am I driving at ?
For
many years now , door access was possible by simply peering into a tiny screen
, which compared your IRIS image with the images stored in its memory ,
identified you and let you in
Of
late , a few smart phones have built-in IRIS biometric identification features
. Soon , all will have , once every smart phone owner installs a payment app
which works on IRIS identification
And
if they have not already appeared by now , all tablets and desk tops too will
ask for IRIS identification in place of a password
TVs
and Smart Watches will not be far behind
As
if this was not enough , AXIS bank has come out with an IRIS based micro
ATM tablets
A
matter of months before all other banks follows
Remember
Ted Levitt ? “ If you don’t make yourself obsolete , someone else will “
If
you are an extrovert and relish sharing your “ personality “ with the World ,
here is good news
If that does not scare you enough , here is what Peter
Diamandis writes on his page
Augmented
Reality Headsets
While the world now has more
mobile phones than humans, and the number of smartphones will reach 3.5 billion
by 2021, we will
soon see the emergence of Augmented Reality Headsets.
Such AR glasses will feature a multitude of forward-looking cameras that image
everything at sub-millimeter resolution as you walk about your day.
By the end of 2020, our smartphones, AR glasses, watches, medical
wearables and smart dust are expected to constitute 50 billion
connected devices, hosting a total of 1 trillion sensors.
And just as the number of connected devices is increasing
exponentially, the number of sensors per connected device is
also increasing exponentially.
So far, sensors on phones have doubled every four years. This
means we can expect 160 sensors per mobile device by 2027, and a
world jam-packed with near 100 trillion sensors.
Sensors that can be accessed
and interrogated by your AI to answer almost any question.
I can envision waking up in the morning, putting on my augmented reality contact lenses, and forgetting about them for
the rest of the day.
While in my eyes, they record every
conversation, every person crossing the street, and everything
I look at.
Drawing from this constant
stream of observational data, I’ll be able to train my social graph and
preferences into my AI using the collected data sets.
Dear Shri
@RaviShankarPrasadji / Shri @BNShrikrishnaji :
How will proposed DATA PROTECTION LAW
protect the privacy of Indian citizens from every other citizen wearing those
augmented reality contact lenses ?
Even if they decide to keep their eyes closed , while moving
around !
